Sarver, PA (June 21, 2014) A week after Friday the 13th with a full moon, all hell broke loose at Lernerville Speedway as Budweiser points leaders broke or surrendered leads, cars flipped in three of four divisions and even when the cars stayed wheels down, they were some wild wrecks. But with the bad comes the good as “Double Duty” Dave Murdick picked up the Diehl Mods feature win and a top ten finish in the Pitkavish Late Model just moments later. Dave Hess Jr. won said Precise Late Model feature after avoiding early attrition and then running down Defending Track Champion and Budweiser Points leader Alex Ferree. Brandon Matus inherited the lead from Budweiser Points leader Carl Bowser mid-race and held off Jack Sodeman Jr. to score his first checkered flag and fence climb of the season. Corey McPherson capped off the night with a dominant feature win in the Pic-A-Part Sportsman division to join Bowser and Ferree as three-time feature winners.

Sarver, PA (June 20, 2014) Dave Hess Jr. made a difficult, but family related decision last summer to cut back on his racing schedule. He returned in full force tonight, however, to secure a track provisional for next weekend’s 8th Annual Firecracker 100 presented by GottaRace.com. Prior to that, Dave Murdick won the Diehl Mods feature feature for the second week in a row to secure a Steel City Stampede provisional in October’s season ending event. Fan favorite Brandon Matus picked up his first feature win of the season in the Peoples TWP Sprints and secured a starting spot in next month’s Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup Twin 30s presented by GottaRace.com. He celebrated, of course, by climbing the fence after parking it in Sheetz Victory Lane. Corey McPherson capped the night off with a dominant feature win in the otherwise competitive Pic-A-Part Sportsman division to score his third checkered flag of the season and cement his starting position in the Sportsman/Stock Spectacular portion of Autumn-Motive Fest 2014 in September.

Sarver, PA (June 15, 2014) The rich 45+ year history of the Lernerville Speedway is full of second and now third generations drivers, but especially on Father’s Day weekend, it’s always special to see drivers roll into Sheetz Victory Lane to “honor thy father”. Alex Ferree, Carl Bowser and Dave Murdick have all surpassed their fathers’ Lernerville win totals, but each grew up at the race track looking up to their respective fathers both on and off the track. Terry Bowser hasn’t driven for quite a few years now, Ed Ferree still races occasionally, but impressively Carl Murdick continues to race on a weekly basis as he has since the track opened in 1968! Happy Father Day to all! Mark Sanders’ father isn’t a name from Lernerville’s past, but Mark himself is a new father and there’s nothing wrong with giving yourself an early Father’s Day present!

Sarver, PA (June 13, 2014) Under a full moon, on Friday the 13th, our longtime and loyal friends from #1 Cochran Automotive helped us light up the sky with another rousing display of fireworks on Fan Appreciation Night. Alex Ferree and Carl Bowser both scored come from behind feature wins in the Precise Lates and Peoples TWP Sprints respectively. After the pyrotechnics and #1 Cochran Parade of Cars, Dave Murdick ran down and past Budweiser Points leader Rex King Jr. for his first win of the season. Mark Sanders ended the festivities with his first career feature win after Mike Miller appeared to have one in the bag. Next Friday are the Mid-Season Championships!

Storylines off the track almost as exciting as wins for Bowser, Shingledecker, Miley and McPherson

Sarver, PA (June 8, 2014) Usually the best storylines come from the races themselves, but that wasn’t the case this Friday Night. Each feature winner had an extra incentive to win. It started with Carl Bowser who won on the same night his sister Micheala graduated from Freeport High School. Jeremiah Shingledecker will turn 37 years old this week, (the same number that is on the door panel of his race car), while Jared Miley had an extra $600 on the line as the Eracers Bonus Bucks driver of the night. Finally, Corey McPherson drove the 20-lap feature win an engagement ring on a chain around his neck and dropped to one knee in Sheetz Victory Lane to propose to his girlfriend, now fiancé, Jennifer. Congratulations to all, both on and off the track!

Sarver, PA (June 6, 2014) Arguably the most exciting month of the season started with a bang tonight as Carl Bowser recovered from near disaster with the turn four wall to steal the Peoples TWP Sprint feature away from Brandon Matus. Jeremiah Shingledecker and Jared Miley each won caution-free features to score their first respective feature wins of the season. Corey McPherson capped the night off with a runaway feature win in the Pic-A-Part Sportsman feature and then dropped to one knee and proposed in Sheetz Victory Lane; of course she said yes!

Sarver, PA (May 31, 2014) For a variety of reasons, Peoples TWP DIRTcar Sprints All Time Wins Leader Ed Lynch Jr. has only been an occasional competitor the past few seasons, but on Friday Night he was in prime form winning both his heat and the feature to score his 109th Career Feature win to tie Lynn Geisler for third on the Overall All Time Wins List; trailing only Inaugural Hall of Fame Class Inductees Bob Wearing Sr. (179) and Lou Blaney (118). Prior to Lynch’s historic win, Alex Ferree pushed his career win total to 27 with his second win of the season. In doing so, Ferree extended his points lead. Rex King Jr. and Jim Fosnaught also became repeat winners and took over the Budweiser Points leads in their respective divisions.

Sarver, PA (May 30, 2014) The Lernerville Speedway track crew threw a curveball at the Fab Four Racing faithful tonight with a dry slick surface, but Alex Ferree, Rex King Jr. and Jim Fosnaught all found their way back to Sheetz Victory Lane to record their second feature wins of the season. Ed Lynch Jr. has seen every condition the Action Track can be in and used that knowledge to snooker early leader Eric Williams on a mid-race restart and beat him into turn on to take the lead and never look back on his way career feature win #109, 108 have come in his iconic #2L Apollo Rocket machine.

Sarver, PA (May 24, 2014) With a press box full of Diehl Automotive employees and families, Defending Diehl Mods Track Champion Mat Williamson scored the first win of his title defense. The Precise Late Models stole the show, though, with a thrilling race that saw Mike Pegher Jr. prevail over John Garvin Jr., Alex Ferree, Russ King and Chub Frank in what can only be described as a barnburner! Danny Holtgraver took advantage of a night off from the All Star tour for some home cooking at the Action Track and scored his second Peoples TWP Sprint win of the season. Finally, Chris Schneider climbed into Terry Young’s #28Y for the night and swept his heat and feature for the 21st Sportsman/Stock win of his career; tying him for fifth all time with Rick Robinson.
